Both APIs are versioned, but the server will not reject requests with an unsupported version set. +Please note that the API grants full access to Podman's capabilities, and as such should be treated as allowing arbitrary code execution as the user running the API. +As such, we strongly recommend against making the API socket available via the network. +The default configuration (a Unix socket with permissions set to only allow the user running Podman) is the most secure way of running the API. + Note: The default systemd unit files (system and user) change the log-level option to *info* from *error*.
